Best Sons Favorite Pickled Eggs Recipes

SON'S FAVORITE PICKLED EGGS

Steps:

• Pour the beet juice into a medium size pot. Stir in the brown sugar, vinegar, water, salt, cloves and the cinnamon stick. Place the pot over medium-high heat for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Place the beets into the liquid mixture and let it cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the beets to heat.
• Place the hard cooked eggs (with the shells removed) in a container with a tight-fitting lid. Pour the liquid and beets into the container with the eggs. Store the container in the refrigerator for approximately 5 days before eating.
• Additional hard-cooked eggs can be added to the container as you use up the eggs.

PERFECT PICKLED EGGS

Steps:

• Combine vinegar, water, sugar, pickling spices and salt in small saucepan.
• Bring to boil, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain liquid through sieve or cheesecloth, if desired.
• Place eggs in 4-cup (1 L) jar with lid. Pour hot liquid over eggs into each jar; Cover jar with lid.
• Refrigerate for at least two days before using.

CANNING PICKLED EGGS

Steps:

• Each of these recipes uses 12 peeled, hard-cooked eggs.
• The directions for each recipe are to bring all the ingredients except the eggs to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Pack no more than one dozen peeled, hard-cooked eggs loosely into a warm, pre-sterilized quart jar (or other similar size container which can be closed tightly).
• There needs to be plenty of pickling solution, and enough to completely cover the eggs.
• Pour the hot pickling solution over the eggs in the jar, cover, and refrigerate immediately.

SUPER EASY PICKLED EGGS

Steps:

• Hard-boil the eggs (takes about 15 minutes) then drain and re-fill the pot with cold water.
• While the eggs are cooling, place remaining ingredients in a small sauce pan on high heat. Heat to low boil, then simmer on low heat for 3 minutes.
• While the pickling solution is simmering, peel the eggs and place in a 1 quart mason jar. Don't worry if an egg sticks above the jar rim slightly - they squish down.
• Pour the pickling solution into the jar. Since the eggs will float up to the top, make sure the jar is filled up to the rim with pickling solution to minimize air up there. If you don't have enough pickling solution, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of sugar until it is up to the rim.
• Set on counter to cool to room temperature, then label with the date and place in the refrigerator.
• Wait 2 weeks for the eggs to pickle thoroughly before eating. Keep them in the fridge and try to eat them within 2 months (after that they are still edible, but rubbery in texture).

PERFECT PICKLED EGGS

Steps:

• Using an egg piercing tool or a needle, poke a hole in each egg shell at the fat/wide bottom of the egg. That is where the air sack is and by poking that hole the air is able to escape as it expands when it gets hot and you will avoid those ugly cracked boiled eggs.
• Add water and 1 TBL salt to a large pot and bring to a rapid boil. Use enough water so the eggs will be covered when added to the pot.
• Once boiling, pour approximately 3/4 cup of vinegar to the water. The salt and the vinegar will not effect the taste of the eggs in any way, they are just to facilitate the peeling of the eggs.
• Immediately start GENTLY dropping the eggs into the pot, being careful not to crack the shells.
• bring back to a boil and boil for 15 minutes.
• Drain and dump the eggs into a large pot of ice water. I use a large salad bowl for this.
• Once rapidly cooled down, crack shells and you should get a perfect peel.
• In the mean time, in a medium pot, mix together the vinegar, water,& 1 1/2 tsp salt, bay leaf and garlic.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat, lower temperature, cover& simmer for 5 minutes.
• Transfer the eggs to sterile containers, fill with hot vinegar mixture& seal.
• Allow to cool& then refrigerate for at least 2 weeks before serving.

PICKLED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of water to the boil, lower in the eggs with a slotted spoon and set a timer for 10 mins. Once the timer goes off, immediately plunge the eggs into ice cold water and leave to cool. Gently tap the eggs on the work surface and peel off the shells.
• Put the boiled eggs in a sterilised jar where they all fit, about 1 litre, and pour over the cooled pickling liquid to cover. Seal and leave in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks, or up to three months. Once opened, keep in the fridge and eat within two weeks.
